Botanist And Bards

Some time passed as the maid continued to feed, cuddle, and tease Isabella - Valiant was covered in a pile of dirty clothes as 'punishment', and didn't seem to comment as time went on. The storm raged on outside, and the dark interior of the castle remained barely lit in most rooms - candles were expensive, and eventually eyes would adjust to the lower level of lighting.

Isabella's followers seemed to be perfectly fine entertaining themselves as the two women laid down together in the room - as the morning wore into the afternoon however, there would be a small knock at the door. Gracie stood up to answer it - it was her job after all - and she left Izzy in bed beneath the sheets.

As the maid opened the door, a familiar slave appeared on the other side dressed in the same miserable clothes - except that they would clearly see a bandage wrapped several times around her neck and other bandages around her hands. "I-I'm here on b-behalf of the lord to a-ask if your lady r-requires anything." The girl seemed terrified - and it likely made Izzy's followers in the other room a little uncomfortable. "F-forgive me for yesterday a-and bothering y-you."

Gracie turned her head towards Izzy - she was going to let the princess handle this, and she wouldn't mind more food being brought up for lunch.

Justice Heart - 20 Years Later (Magical Girl Spoof)

9:00pm, Exploring the old Locations

Woodcreek High - Courtney, Elise, Ramona
When they wanted to go to the old schoolhouse, the party may have forgotten the place had been renovated and was actually still in use - kids weren't around this late at night, but some lights could be seen in the building where janitors were still working. This was actually the school where Emily's daughter, Mary, attended.

There were a few locations they could go to - there was a small stadium for sports games and other school events, with seats added since the girls had been here. Nearby there was a small athletic facility, lights completely off. Inside were showers, lockers, and an area for storing various gym supplies and some weight machines. A tennis court was adjacent. The girls would likely remember fighting various sentient bits of sports equipment as they struggled to fight the dollmaster.

The school building itself had two sections - one expanded onto more recently - with the old side having a large auditorium and a library. Previously the dollmaster had scared students in a plot to fill fear feeding monsters with powers in the auditorium, but the library had also been a place where she had possessed children with 'evil' knowledge.

Standing outside of the fence to the school grounds, what would they do? Were they in civilian or magical girl clothes?

Abandoned Theater - Alice and Isana
The site of many plays and a hard battle with stage props, the Woodville Theatre had been abandoned as part of their adventures. After discovering the events that occurred on stage would have some (usually unfortunate) effect in the real world, the Justice Hearts had convinced the manager to give up on his family business and instead pursue his real dream of being a skydiving instructor.

Currently the front was covered with wooden boards with old KEEP OUT tape wrapped around it. Though they hadn't seen it in many years, the girls would likely remember the general layout.

Hider

Docks - Fiona and Emily
With both of their cars decently damaged, Emily used her spell and they traveled across town magical girl style. It was a pit embarrassing - but in the end, the pair of them arrived at an old, abandoned dockyard. Previously the dollmaster had released a tentacled monster here - Star Heart winced slightly at the memory not that she thought about how she'd been caught up in it before and instead focused on their surroundings.

Emily remembered that something had come out of a nearby sewer that was shut down for environmental reasons, but she figured a nearby warehouse would be the best place to explore first. Already in their magical girl costumes, she figured no one would question them as they actually looked busy. Bringing the other mom to the front door of the warehouse, Emily sighed. It was locked, of course. "Hey, Justice SolarFlare, mind blowing this thing open?"

It wouldn't count as property damage if it was abandoned, right?

Old Hideout - Vivian and Carrie
Caves - the easiest place for anyone to hide. It didn't take long for Vivian and Carrie to arrive a small distance, and the pair of them would find the front front steel gates were open - perhaps the pair had forgotten, but the old hideout had become a tourist trap - and it was still open with a yawning security guard outside as it approached its closing hour - one disappointed couple was shooed away - they had likely come to check the area out given the events only a few hours earlier, but closing time was closing time.

The pair would remember the general layout of the Dollmaster's lair. Beyond this gate was the trap room, with various traps having been 'partially deployed' with props and descriptions beneath them. There was also a gallery, showing the Justice Hearts in one of their final battles as depicted by a news crew - and group photo, taken the victorious day afterwards when they were all recovered.

What would the two do?

Justice Heart - 20 Years Later (Magical Girl Spoof)

@EnterTheHero I'll get stuff up tomorrow morning then.

St. Sappho Academy, Medieval Magic Academy (Invite Only)

Sel sighed as Meowka turned her head in response. The cat of course factually understood that Avaline was, in fact, larger than her. Understanding the dim-witted lizard on meant length though, the prowler of the night's facial expressions lightened up a bit. Until the 'D for Dragon comment' and flaunting her chest appropriately.

"Hey! It's not my fault!" Meowka stood up, clearly angry about the entire situation. "Those kahaunkas of yours are practically unnatural!" The cat's eyes widened, as if she was ready to pounce.

"Great great great ..." Sel looked around a little desperately as she tried to prevent the fight from happening. "Meowka! What letter comes after E?"

A brief glance at the cat revealed she didn't know, and didn't care. "Eph! And do you know what else starts with F?" Meowka stared dumbly at the mage, contemplating how to eat today's lizard dinner. "Fish! Fish start with F!" The cat wasn't happy, but calmed down about hearing that. Selvina looked around, relived, as she tried to come up with contingencies in the next situations where the nitwits decided to murder each other.

She looked to the doll for advice, hoping Katherine would have an idea of what to do here.

Maoin remained silent at Mugi's request - it seemed to at least be acknowledged though as an ear seemed to shift slightly to receive the message.

"Hey! Wait!" Aetheria practically shouted at the snow girl as she began to leave, rushing behind the reception desk and looking for something. It felt really ridiculous, but Aetheria pulled out a small container containing a funnel cake. "Thank you for helping ... um ... here you go ... enjoy." All around, it was awkward for the white mage to do this sort of kindness.

Livia had instructed her several times to be nicer to the students because due to her dual role as 'displinarian' people were starting to come up with names like 'scary mean nurse' or 'that white bitch'. She didn't think living at a magic academy excused people to do uncalled for hooligan acts - so if she was going to reward people, it would be the helpful ones.

She at least hoped it tasted good. As Mugi left, the white mage looked in a rather irritated manner at the cat girl. "And YOU." Maoin looked up, largely unfazed by the angry mage in front of her. "... Come on." The cat followed the white mage obediently, being led into an examination room.

---

The lecturing eventually came to an end, the white mage finishing the final wrap of the bandage around the kitten's painfully blistered hands - no magic had been used for any wound, although a small amount of alcohol had been applied as a disinfectant. When Maoin stood to leave, the nurse shook her head no and pushed the cat back down onto the padded examination table. "Hey, what do y-"

"I'm sorry, but you've committed an act of self-harm - and not just now, because there's an improperly healed scar on your left arm too. And you've also been in a fight." The cat paused to protest, but Aetheria silenced it with an angry glare. "As the nurse, I can't let you leave until a responsible party comes by to pick you up - probably your mistress. A note will be left on your door so she knows to come find you, and I'll ask her how to handle you." Once again Maoin wanted to protest, but the mage just kept talking. "The room will also try and sedate you if you think about doing anything stupid to it or yourself, so don't bother. Now, I'm going because I have other things to do. Bye."

"H-hey!" The nurse ignored the cat's protest, leaving the room and locking Maoin in from the outside as she turned down a hallway. The kitten sighed, a little angered, but ultimately decided that any further protest was useless as she slouched against a wall and began waiting.

---

There was a small note eventually left on the door to Luna's dorm room.

To The Grand Dragon Lady Sorcha,

Your servant, Maoin, was found by another student in the woods and brought to my office. Your cat has signs of self-harm and of having recently been in a fight, both of which have had her sustain light wounds. She is fine and in no danger of declining, so there is no immediate need to rush. That being said, she is being held in my office until you or another responsible party picks her up.

Stop by the outskirts of the forest on your way here - you'll quickly find a destructive scene.

Thanks,
Aetheria.

"Fine!" Using the color coding method, Fia had decided to go with a cherry drink - it was the same color as her hair, after all. Taking another sip of the red liquid, the phoenix smiled at the girl in front of her. "Thanks ..." For a few minutes, Fia was content to bask in the happiness of the moment until she realized the implication of what Lyssa had said.

"Royalty? You?" The fourteen-year old tilted her head as if a little confused. That seemed a bit absurd to her, but she had heard and seen stranger things in her dreams. Lyssa didn't ACT like a princess, though. Maybe it was just one of her silly creations?

Otille Kohler

Otille winced slightly, but was able to withstand this largely intense scrubbing for the most part as she tried to not get pushed over by Cocoa's efforts. "... friend works just fine, Cocoa." The farmer let out a sigh - a combination of gratefulness that her cow didn't try some sort of strange and misled seduction attempt and mild irritation as Cocoa had managed to miss at least part of the point.

It probably wasn't worth trying to explain right now, but there was another thing to talk about.

"Hey, Cocoa, I talked with the ... 'mean woman' ... and she said you nearly hurt a lot of people and damaged some stuff on the way to get me. I love you, but you can't stampede through town simply because you don't know where I am." It felt bad, but Otille needed to tell Cocoa this even if it hurt her familiar's feelings a little. "I'll try and warn you better if I have to be gone, but that wasn't acceptable behavior. I got in trouble because of it, alright?" Otille turned around, using a single arm to cover her chest as she gave the cow a slight bop on the head before rubbing her ear right ear softly for a few moments. "I know you feel protective of me, but I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself. And besides, this campus is safe, alright Cocoa?"

The novice mage paused for a moment, waiting for the cow's immediate response to this before continuing. "Also, I'm going on a date with Lady Luna after this bath - I want you to stay here and be responsible, alright? There's people in the tavern you can talk to so you won't feel lonely." Later Otille would be glad to help her wonder the streets, but probably simplification would be more useful to the cow's thoughts than trying to explain exactly what she could and couldn't do with other people.

Justice Heart - 20 Years Later (Magical Girl Spoof)

@EnterTheHero Alright, I'll wait until later tonight then to posty.

Justice Heart - 20 Years Later (Magical Girl Spoof)

I'll have the groups arrive at their meet ups tomorrow

Justice Heart - 20 Years Later (Magical Girl Spoof)

@Noodles PM me you character idea

Botanist And Bards

The constant storm outside did not ease up - whether it was because the divine spirits could not hear her, had no influence here, or did not exist could all be possibilities, but Zarva - and even the lord a little by extent, seemed to enjoy Isabella's singing. Zarva clapped as Isabella finished. "See! Her voice is so pretty!" The lord didn't exclaim his opinion so enthusiastically, but simply nodded in agreement and raised his glass in a small toast before taking a drink. Gracie gave Isabella's thigh a small pat of congratulations and encouragement as she gave her mistress a small smile.

Afterwards they ate a meal - the lord didn't seem try to hard to press for conversation, only asking questions here and there to make some small talk. Zarva and him discussed some of the other nearby lords briefly, but it became very apparent that no 'kingdom' existed here at all - the monthly highstorms seemed to prevent such things, as they discussed the failure of Lord Turzo in taking over a nearby keep. There were a few mentions of Windmothers again, but little was described about them or who they were.

Slaves entered the room sometimes before leaving to refill drinks and pick up plates, and soon enough the dinner was finished. The lord and Zarva started to bow out, although Gracie interrupted them. "My lord, we have traveled long and on a dirty road. Is there somewhere my mistress could bathe? Preferably in private?" Lord Hasingwrath nodded, beckoning a slave to guide them to the area and give them some directions.

Selvina read the sign, looking over Katherine's advice. Fish, of course. Though of course the lizard introduced herself in the most ridiculous manner. Heaven or Hell trial? The mage rolled her eyes, questioning for a moment if this was worth it. She was supposed to be teaching magic, history, or alchemy. Not the goddamn alphabet to a bunch of incompetent familiars.

It wasn't hard for the mage to see through the lizard's real intentions as she suffocated the doll. "That's fine then - be sure to let me know if there isn't anything I'm not clarifying enough." Meowka seemed to cast a questioning and slightly hostile glance as she mentioned 'almost familiar' black kitten.

"I-I'm not small!" Meowka glared at the lizard, not realizing it was in a different context. Even in that one was nineteen, dammit, not three!

Sel coughed loudly in an attempt to gather their attention. "Anyways, um Meowka."

Focus, Selvina. The mage looked towards the cat, since that was apparently the only person she was teaching. "Alright, Meowka. But you do know fish come from the sea, right?" The cat grumbled something hostile under her breath. "How would you ask a fishermen about what fish were in the sea? You wouldn't be able to buy fish then."

It was honestly terrible logic - Sel doubted you'd have to specify that the fish needed to come from the sea ... but Meowka seemed to buy it. "... Sea ..." Selvina smiled, going on to E ...

If they managed to learn all the letters she'd be pretty impressed, really.

Maoin was so deep in her gloomy thoughts that she didn't even realize another's presence in front of hear until she heard a growing column of ice appear in front of her. "Huh?" The cat blinked a couple of times, surprised, before finding herself being held like some sort of bride down a ramp of ice and back into town.

Like most cats (and people) Maoin didn't appreciate being picked up by this random person. "L-Let me GO, Mugi! I'll walk there if I want!" It was rather apparent that the cat was quite furious being in this position - really, she wanted to find a nice little corner to hide in. She didn't want to talk to anyone. The cat struggled a bit against the girl, even pounding the Yuki-Onna's chest with her fists a couple time pointlessly as she continued to be carried to the nurse despite her wishes.

As they arrived and the kitten was guiding in, a few seconds would pass before a hurrying white mage would appear from the direction of the office. "What happened?" The mage looked at the cat, but the cat glanced away. Based on the person who just left though and a couple of drops of blood on Maoin's boot though, she managed to get the story to herself.

Maoin largely stood there as the nurse looked over her face, then looked over the cat's hands. Blisters? Aetheria frowned, putting together what happened. "You there. What do you know about this?" The mage spoke sternly, but not harshly as she looked in the direction of Mugi. "The injuries to the hands were self inflicted ..." The cat didn't protest, only looking down a bit further. "... how did you find her?" The mage looked at the snow girl, waiting for a response.

Of course it was adulty - Livia drank it! Fia frowned though as Lyssa said she didnt' have any money on herself at the moment - and to be fair, the girl had already bought her a dress - which she was currently wearing. "... fruit juice ..." Still shy, the girl raised her face and offered Lyssa a smile so she would understand she was grateful for the offer.

Otille Kohler

Otille winced as she was scrubbed like - well, like a cow. The woman didn't want to correct her familiar - but it needed to be brought up before her eyes started to water. "Cocoa, I'm not as tough as you. A little softer on the scrubbing, okay?" The farmer put a smile on her face and turned around to smile at her familiar for a quick moment before facing away again.

The next bit was a little more ... difficult, to explain. "Cocoa, I do love you. You are a sweet little cow and quite adorable too." Well, she didn't think the Kahaunkas on Cocoa's chest were adorable, but that was for a different time and place. "You are my ... good friend, and back home I took care of you and you watched over me as well ..."

She should probably get straight to the point. She wasn't educated enough to explain what she met in flowery language, and Cocoa probably wouldn't understand it. "Lover implies that we are mates, Cocoa. Like, that we um ... have sex and kiss and stuff ..." Otille turned around this time, petting Cocoa's head to make sure the cow understood this wasn't a criticism - her cheeks were utterly flushed but Cocoa's happiness was more than worth exposing her embarrassment.

"... if you want to explain to people that you are my familiar you should probably tell them that I'm your mistress ..." That's the word Aetheria had used, right? Honestly, it sounded a bit ridiculous. It didn't seem like Cocoa was some sort of servant to her at least. She'd always been a bit more like a pet or a friend. "... or if that's too formal, you can say that you are my pet or my familiar. Or that I'm your mage." Otille offered a small smile and a quick hug before turning back around. "Either way, I'm glad you are with me Cocoa."
